You know the face. You've seen the movies. Maybe you even recognize
the name. But somehow you can't put two and two together. You
don't quite know from where you've seen him and you can't for the life
of you recall previous roles or characters. And even if you do know him, the minute you mention his name,
you get an emphatic "Elias who?" from others.

Well, I'm here to present one of the most fascinating and talented
character actors of his generation and put an end to the mystery of
this somewhat elusive, but always illustrious actor.
Let me introduce you to Elias Koteas, one of the most incredibly,
talented actors I've ever laid eyes on! For more than 20 years he has
been making movies, picking and choosing his roles carefully and
deliberately, slowing carving a name for himself as a great character
and supporting actor. Even when he has some great screen time (as in
"The Thin Red Line,") or even a Genie
award-nominated starring role ("Malarek"),
Elias still manages to play it low-key, obviously preferring anonymity
over fame!

". . . right now there's people in my life that
are giving me so much encouragement it's like
beautiful air that's being blown into my life
unexpectedly these past couple months. I feel,
'OK, that's great.'"

Elias or any of his friends, neighbors, old girlfriends or

received no money from this

respect
is priceless and this page is worth every effort of my free
time!
It is not my intention to do anything illegal, disrespectful

To the best of my knowledge, everything in this website is
true. But if you spot any errors, please let me know. Elias'
page deserves the best
quality and attention to detail that his fans can give him
and I'd hate to look like an
idiot
should my idol somehow wander by. I am also
open to suggestions, comments
and improvements for this
site, as well as any news on Elias that you'd like to share.
Thank you.
